Only the tail end of the Buzzcocks’ first set at the newly expanded two-weekend Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival was featured on the event’s webcast, so the video offerings aren’t as great for the legendary punk act, but we have been able to round up four songs from the band’s 15-song set on Saturday: “Hey Maria,” “What Do I Get,” “Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve)” and “I Believe,” the latter two of which were part of that livestream and are presented in significantly better quality.
